This one was another I got at the gunshow over the weekend. Guy cam in all wet from the storms that blew in from Mexico on Sat. He wanted to buy a .50 cal muzzle loader I had, but had no $. He said he had a revolver he couldn't handle in the truck if I would swap. I would have to see it. Figured it was .38 ro something.
Nope. It was this .44 mag 5 shot stainless Tracker. Nice snubbie witha box, no paperwork. He would take my smoke pole and 250 for the .44. He had no use for it and wanted to try primitive hunting this year. He did not want to spend much on a new gun. Told him I would give him the smoke pole and 150, no more. If he ould not do that, he could go sell his gun and bring me 150 for the rifle. He played with it a little and I gave him the manual & a breech plug remover tool. Gus was a used N.E.F. break open muzzle loader I had no use for and didn't have much into it. I had bought it for 75 bucks to get a nice scope off it for one of my rifles. Well, the guy was all wet and didn't want to wander around for long in the show. He would take the deal. Worked for me.
A pic of the gun and a test target with some old .44 spl. loaads. Kinda warm ones at 950 FPS witha 240 gr. hardcast lead bullet Iused in .44 mags for less recoil. Still has plenty of power. Gun shot pretty much to POA. Trigger is a bit creepy in the release. Definitely not as good as my S&W 629 .44 mag.. But, I can live with it for the weight reduction and smaller size.
II ain't much for the fiber optic front sight, but used gun buyers can't be bicky. Rear is fixed. And as I said, trigge is a bit creepy in SA. It is O.K. in DA. Grips are rubber.
